I hated Mania when it first came out, and I still don’t like it. It’s the most bland, soulless album FOB has yet made. Church and Young And Menace are the only decent songs on there.
It took me about 3 listens to get full enjoyment, but it’s one of the most legendary indie rock albums of all time for a reason.
I loved this album a LOT for a while, and I still think it’s very good, and by far the best album Oasis made. It improves on Definitely Maybe with tracks like Some Might Say, Hello, Don’t Look Back In Anger, and of course, the classic Wonderwall. I can give it a good rating.
I could've been doing something far more productive than devoting my time to an ICP album.
I remember when this album came out, and I gave it a lot of shit because of how different Linkin Park sounded, and basically bandwagoning with the community because they sold out to have a more radio friendly sound. This album is far from perfect, I wouldn't even call it that great, it's probably their worst album, but upon relistening to it, I think I gave it way too much shit. Some of the tracks on here like Talking To Myself, or the title track really do the best job with what's been given. ... read more
I remember when this album came out, and absolutely bopping to it all the time when it did. Revolution Radio is potentially the catchiest album Green Day has made since Dookie, with songs that ACTUALLY HAVE SUBSTANCE BEYOND THE CATCHINESS UNLIKE FATHER OF ALL like Bang Bang, Revolution Radio, Still Breathing, and Too Dumb To Die. It still holds up significantly well 4 years later too, as opposed to Father Of All which has soured on me way too much since it's release earlier this year.
Government Plates might be the most in your face album Death Grips has made to this point in time, and I think it works really well. Some people think the aggression makes it feel half-and-done, but I personally think it makes for a more enjoyable experience that albums like The Money Store, or No Love Deep Web don't necessarily deliver as much as this album.
It's been a year since Jesus Is King came out, and I still really don't understand how he went from albums like MBDTF and The Life Of Pablo to Ye and this. It's not a terrible album, I wouldn't even call it a bad album, but it's painfully mid, especially for Kanye's standard.
This album feels like it was made ironically as an inside joke between NAV and his label and nobody else is in on it.
This is probably the best Eminem album of the past 10 years, but that still doesn't say a whole lot to me.
An album from 2004 by a punk rock band that mixes being politically charged with themes of living your daily life, and growing up around the right or wrong people that isn't made by Green Day probably doesn't sound very good, yet here it is as one of my favorite albums of all time.
After a 5 year wait, Slipknot returns in 2019 with their sixth album "We Are Not Your Kind" delivering some of the darkest, most sadistic shit they've made in years and it's great. Slipknot returns to the roots of their first two albums on this album, especially on tracks like Solway Firth, which show off how brutal Corey Taylor can be lyrically and tonally at times, with some of his darkest lyrics since Iowa; "Heh... I HAVEN'T SMILED IN YEARS", really doing a good job ... read more
Fantastic album that cements Tyler The Creator as one of the best artists going today.
Absolutely my favorite midwest emo album of all time. It's a fun listen, but has it's equal amount of angst and dread to it that comes with your typical midwest emo record, while Mom Jeans add their own spice to it, with clear inspirations from bands like The Front Bottoms, and Modern Baseball. Tracks like Death Cup, Girl Scout Cookies, Scott Pilgrim VS My GPA, and Movember give the listener the first taste of that signature Mom Jeans feel that fans are now used to.
Absolutely spectacular debut record from an extremely talented duo. It's definitely worth giving a listen, and I'm excited to see what their third album will have in stock when it probably comes out at some point in 2021.
Pretty big improvement on Modern Muskokan Poet, Hayden improves his mixing, lyricism, and guitar work. It's become pretty apparent with songs like Headhunted, The Cops, and my personal favorite; A Thief Encountering A Hazard that he's evolved a lot from his MCAP days.
Periphery basically moved djent to the forefront as a metal subgenre with their 2010 debut album, and with 2012's Periphery II, I think they manage to push the boundary a lot further. Improving on their first album in literally every way, whether it's Spencer Sotelo's vocals, Matt Halpern's manic drumming, and ESPECIALLY Mark Holcomb's significant improvement on guitar. Periphery II has some of the band's best work to this day with songs like Ragnarok, Scarlet, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Ji, so ... read more
